Cold Days Are Good For A Massage
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009
When you come in to the office for a massage at Muscles In Motion Massage Therapy, located in Cicero, this is what you can expect: A happy, healthful environment with a warm welcome as soon as you walk in the door. Everyday is a good day with positive encouragement that you can take with you. When you crawl on to a heated massage table, you’ll notice the linens are warm and cozy. Each 30 minute or longer massage session begins with heated clay packs that are placed on tired and achy muscles of the back. Eventually breathing slows down as the parasympathetic nervous system takes over. Digestion begins, heart rate slows, and relaxation takes over. Experience it for yourself

Drink Water Now!
Monday, August 3rd, 2009
Being dehydrated decreases anaerobic muscular power. A recent study from The Athletic Department at Chicago State University suggests a decrease in power with a decrease in water. The study found that a mere 2.9% drop in body mass from dehydration decreased the anaerobic muscular power. So this means all of you vaulters and tumblers, you will vault and tumble lower than when you are hydrated and springy. Not to mention the decreased hydration can result in INJURY.

Cancer and Massage- New Page Coming Soon
Friday, June 19th, 2009
Massage has been a great compliment to cancer treatments to reduce stress. More doctors are recognizing the benefits of massage therapy not just as relaxing, but also as a necessity in complimentary alternative medicine for the treatment of cancer.
The National Center for Complimentary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) defines Complimentary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) as a group of unconventional health and medical systems, practices or products. Complimentary medicine is used in conjunction with another conventional practice and alternative medicine is used in place of conventional practice. Some examples of CAM include: chiropractic, accupuncture, massage therapy and herbal medicine.
Massage Therapy is a great compliment to conventional treatments for cancer. Massage can provide temporary relief from some symptoms caused from cancer and side effects of medications taken to treat cancer. The new page will explain in detail different types of massage that may be indicated for different patient needs. There will also be a resource of links to other pages that may be helpful in finding information about cancer treatments and programs available.

Pain Relief Spray
Wednesday, May 6th, 2009
I have been training for a triathlon and I have been getting every ache and pain from ankle issues to knee pain. Having had 2 ACL replacement surgeries, I am no stranger to joint pain. I discovered this spray that is all natural with essential oils…Helios Pain Relief Spray…Love it. Before I go runnng in the morning, I spray my knees and my ankles and I’m good to go. I love it so much, I decided to sell it in my office. I stand behind this product so much, I will be putting my Helios pain relief spray in my race day bag. I use this now during my treatment sessions when I’m giving medical massage and trigger point therapy and I’ve seen great results on my clients.

The Foam Roller
Wednesday, April 1st, 2009
Some of you have seen this crazy apparatus. It’s a long foam roller, I brought it to the gym last week when I was working on some of you. Anyway its a great tool for self care when you have achey muscles. Not to mention some of you were having a try at using it for a balance trainer. Trying to balance on this roller while on one foot, two feet, some of you even tried handstands. I’m ordering some more of these and I will bring them in when I get them so you can take them home and train more.

Adirondack Stone Therapy
Wednesday, February 4th, 2009
Imagine taking a stroll along a small path in the dense forrest. There’s a warm breeze moving the branches around, swirling herbaceous blends of lavender with the sweetness of a frasier fir. In the distance, song birds resonate from the surrounding flora. A nearby stream trickles over stones to a rhythm as the sun’s brilliant rays are filtered by thin leaves, creating a soft amber glow. Now, are you ready to relax?
That was my inspiration for creating the Adirondack Stone Massage. Its a combination of Hot Stone Massage, Aromatherapy and Sound Therapy. The ADK Stone is the perfefect indulgence when you experience the warmth of water heated river stones melting our worries away.
NOW, for a limited time, I’m offering the Adirondack Stone Massage for 45 minutes at $65 per session. Save money and relax.

Autumn Scents
Friday, October 10th, 2008
Lately I’ve become very interested in aromatherapy. Aside from some of the basic scents I use in some of my signature treatments, I been mixing new scents. Right now, I have a rosemary, lavender and eucalyptus blend infusing steamed towels for application during all massages. One of my latest room scents for fall mixes the fresh, sweet orange with a spicey cinnimon. I have also been inspired to dash a little clove ( a natural antiseptic) and a little peppermint (a natural anti-inflammatory) into my creations.
All next week, I’ll be using the rosemary, lavender and eucalyptus blend in the steamed towels. As always, I use only 100% pure, organic jojoba to blend my essential oils. Next week’s blend will be the rosemary and peppermint with the jojoba. Jojoba is a natural conditioner so it dosen’t clog your pores or leave your skin feeling greasy
